On the plus side, less time for all four to prepare for their final fixtures.

Games involving Port Vale v Newport and Salford (shock horror) v Mansfield are being shown on Sky on 2nd May

Last mid-week game nicely wangled by those clubs. By then the games could each be between one side that needs a result and one that has nothing to play for.

On the 2nd plus side, imagine how pi$$ed we be if it was be our match with Northampton.

Double header in the spot and a promotion celebration at the end of it sounds good

An analysis

Cryptocurrency is here to stay but so is the volatility surrounding it. Cannot see how Crawley consider this to be a sustainable project and I can see them in National League South within 4 years!

If we get 9 points from our 7 games then it will need 2 out of the remaining 9 contenders (excl FGR) to achieve the following points:



Northampton – 15 from 6 or 5 wins from 6
Swindon– 19 from 7 or 6 wins and 1 draw
Sutton - 20 from 7 or 7 wins
Tranmere – 17 from 6 or 6 wins from 6
Salford – 19 from 6 i.e. not possible
Newport – 18 from 6 or 6 wins from 6
Mansfield – 15 from 7 or at least 5 wins from 7
Port Vale – 15 from 6 or 5 wins from 6
Bristol Rovers - 15 from 6 or 5 wins from 6



Salford target is impossible so they are out, leaving 2 from 8.



Of the remaining 8, three will need to win all of their remaining matches. Sutton and Newport play each other so one of those will not make it. 2 from 7 left.



Of the remaining 7, Swindon will need to win all but one and must at least draw that one, three can only afford to lose 1 out of 6 and must win the other 5. Given teams that have to play each other, some of those will be eliminated by each other.



Mansfield are best placed with being able to lose 2. However, they have to play Sutton, Salford and FGR.



If we can’t get 9 points from 7, then we probably don’t deserve autos.

This makes it easy to understand whats required, any chance of an update after yesterday please OC?

If we presume that we now work on 6 points more, then Swindon, Salford, Tranmere would all be unable to finish above us.

Northampton, Sutton, Newport and Bristol need to win all of their remaining games. Sutton and Newport play each other so one will be out. A draw would be sufficient for us at Northampton to eliminate them.

Mansfield and Port Vale would still be in contention and could afford to lose 2. Bristol are away to Port Vale on Easter Monday so one, or possibly both will lose points.

Mansfield have to play Sutton, Salford and FGR. Apart from Bristol, Port Vale have to play us.

Disgraceful bullying behaviour by Fulham. Not the first time they have tried to exploit lower league clubs.....
